The Southern Fried Chicks Tour, featuring Nashville’s own Beth Damn Donahue, along with Etta May, Trish Suhr, and Sonya White, debuts July 27th at 10pm Central, 11pm Eastern on CMT.
The suits at CMT say, “Southern Fried Chicks is the top grossing female comedy tour on the road today, featuring Trish Suhr, Sonya White, Beth Donahue and Etta May. This one-hour stand-up special will bring together four different women who will share their hilarious take on life, love and living in middle America.”
Beth says, “It was REALLY cool. I didn’t know it at the time cause I was super stressed and cracked out, but now that it’s over I have to say it was really really cool. I’ve done lots of TV, but it’s been a while and this MTV Crew was a well-oiled machine, man.”
Ms. Damn Donahue is FUNNY. You probably used to listen to her on the radio here in Nashville & if you’re lucky you’ve seen her live at Zanies the last Wednesday of the month for the last few months. Don’t miss this show.. and don’t miss Beth’s upcoming appearances at Zanies.
